GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
As Fark.com so eloquently put it: "Norwegian Cliffs 3, Australia 0." A 28 year-old Aussie base jumper died in Norway this week when his chute failed to open during a BASE jump from the cliffs at Sunndal in western Norway. BASE, for those who did not pay attention during the EXTREME 1990s, stands for Building, Antenna, Span, and Earth, the four types of structures divers leap from in the sport.
While the jumper did puncture our theory of complete and total Australian invincibility by dying during the jump, we can only hope reports surface of him taunting the ground "to hit him with your best shot" just before impact.
The real tragedy: if only the jumper had been wearing the infamous "wingsuit," he could have soared out into the fjords, where he could have at least stood a miniscule chance of surviving a water landing. If you're thinking about ever trying anything you see in the video below...call us. You sound like 100% fortified fun.
